The Gypsy as a Tinker.

Every gypsy is born tinker and all
gyIsies are ''handy" at mending. and
splicing and fixing anything, anywhere,
any time. Joe, over there, is a fair SAM
pie of the average tinker regularly con-
nected with a well to do hand. He will
earn. make and save 1000 by the sum-
mer's trip, and with it add a few more
priced acres to his splendid Pennsylvania
farm. i always share tent with these
thinkers, and accompany them on their
trips among the farms. The farm folks
everywhere know them, and Hello, Joe
Tor Dick or Bob, you here agin?" is the
universal greeting. Then we are given
the old store of unreliable copper boilers,
broken griddles. handleless tea pots and
sieve like milk pans, which have been ac-
cumulating since the gypsies went away
last year. For the village tinsmith' S
hammer is now seldom heard ON all well
established gypsy routes. Because Joe
is gypsy he always marriages to get a
better price for his work than a village
smith; and because he is a bit of cob
bier and saddler there are countless other
little jobs waiting for him and his kind.

The Palatka Club.

The Palatka Club held a special meet
ing Tuesday evening for the purpose of
transacting important business. There
We're seven as members and two applica-
tions received, which will be voted on at
the next meeting. The club is in flour
ishing condition; the treasury having a
large surplus on hand and no outstand-
ing debts. This organization is one that
should be upheld by all good citizens. as
it is conducted on the right princi-
pie and is a benefit to the young men of
this city; affording them a place to
spend their evenings. The Monday even
ing entertainments are of the most re-
fined character, and it has been sug-
gested that if few married ladies would
attend, with their husbands, the single
ladies would not have such a hesitancy
in attending these entertainments, to
which all are invited.

Fear of the Supernatural.

Fear of the supernatural is one variety
of fear. Ii is difficult to assign any nor
NAL object for this fear. unless it were a
genuine ghost. But. in spite of psychi-
cal research societies, science has not vet
adopted ghosts; so we can only say that
certain ideas of supernatural agency,
associated with real circumstances, pro-
duce peculiar kind of horror. This
horror is probably explicable as the result
of n combination of simpler horrors. To
bring the ghostly terror to its maximum.
many usual elements of the dreadful
must combine. such as Loneliness, dark
ness, incXplicabie sounds. especially of a
dismal character, moving figures half dis
cernad Tor, if discerned, of dreadful
aspect. and "A vertiginCus battling of the
expectation. This last element, which is
int allectuaI, is very important. 1t pro-

Stoppiu- an Ocean Steamer.

The Scientific American has been max
ing some Investigations recently in regard
to the distance required To stop a large
ocean steamer. Mr.. Nash, for many
years secretary of the board of pilots,
calculates that vessel running nineteen
knots an hour would cover two miles
after its engines were stopped and re-
versed. Two other trusted New York
pilots made the same calculation and
reached the same result. The captain of
the Aurania believed that he could stop
his vessel when going at full speed in a
mile, and the commander of the Alaska
believed it could be done i'm q mile and a
half. No one acquainted with the sub
icct placed the estimate under a mile
